I was shocked to find out today that Jim passed. I was Jim's supervisor for many years at FFIC in the Network Service Center. Everyone knows that he was the life of the party. No matter the situation, Jim always had something very funny to say to put life in perspective. He was a great technican and very smart. As I said, I'm shocked. My sincere sympthies go out to his children, Laura and Nic. Your dad was a great man and I liked him very much.

My sweet angel,
You were my baby brother for all these years, and I watched you grow into such a special, wonderful man-so funny, so giving, so good.
You loved and confided in me, and that means the world to me.
I didn't cry at your memorial service because I thought if I started, I would never stop. I wanted to be strong for you, but now feel maybe
I should have showed all the emotions that were deep inside me.
The words I spoke though, were true- You had a heart of gold-
never judging anyone, always ready to help. You loved the important
things in life, and saw such wonder in God's canvass of nature and beauty. You were comfortable in your own skin and were true to the
things you loved. You are with Mom and Dad and John and Ann and
Chad and others there now. I know in Heaven, they are saying "Who
is this great new guy, making us laugh up here!" You will never be
forgotten my sweet Jimbo. We had our great little roadtrip and some
perfect days and perfect memories that I know in time will help me
with this profound sorrow I feel. You left me a message on the phone
saying "Thank you for the din dins and for being the wonderful sister you are". I wish I had not erased it, but it is forever etched in my heart.
I had no way of knowing you would soon be gone. I am so happy Laura was the voice you heard, and that you were not alone, and that Nick made it back to see you, and that you got to hold and take care of baby Travis. I am crying tears of love for you, and am comforted now by
knowing you are in God's keeping.
You will be remembered and loved by all who knew you.
I love you my sweet, wonderful brother.
Your Sister,
Mimi

Dear Lisa, Laura, Nic and family,
Working with Jim at FFIC was always a joy. His sense of humor, outlook on life, and willingness to help were very much appreciated. He was a great man and I know I'm richer for having known him. My deepest sympathies to you and his extended family of current and former FFIC employees that worked with Jim.

Lisa,Laura and Nick,
My best memory of your Dad was during Nicks little games, he was the best announcer, made it like we were listening to a Giants game on KNBR, always had good things to say about all the kids and his sense of humor and quick wit made the games for the kids and other parents all the better. To Lisa and the Kids, know that our prayers and thoughts are with all of you,and we are here for you.
Love the Wrights, Mark,Patty,Nikki and Mark Jr.

My deepest sympathy to the LeDuc family. I have known Jim for 20yrs while working at FFIC. He was such a happy go lucky kind of guy, that's how I will always remember him. God bless!

Nic and Laura,I really don't know how to find the words to express how I feel. This is so tragic. I have such a special place in my heart for your dad. I always will. He loved you two so much. One of the qualities I admired in him was his love for family. It helped offset the fact that he was such a brat. He got me more than once with a practical joke. Like calling and saying that he was the Novato police and Nathan was in trouble. I will miss him so. But like you said Laura, he will always be with us. He will always be there for you two. He gave you so much that makes you such good people. That is a part of him that will always live on through you. Please let me know if you need anything. love, Robin Husen

Lisa, Nic & Laura, we are so broken-hearted and cannot find words to express the sorrow and loss we are feeling. Words like "E-ticket", "Fab4" and so many funny stories always bring Jim to mind. He will really be missed. This has been a rough year. Please come and spend some quality time with your family in Baja. Hugs and Love, Roast & Mel

Lisa, I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He always had a smile and a great attitude at Fireman's Fund. Always a pleasure to work with, and willing to be helpful. You are all in my thoughts. Sarah McGrath (El Cerrito, CA.)

If all of humanity had Jim's gentle and caring spirit, the tune sung by his beloved Beatles, our world would be at peace.....as he is now.
I will miss you, my Brother In Law....

Dear Lisa and family, very sorry to hear this news. I hope you are comforted by the thought that many of us who have not seen Jim in years still remember how his presence enriched our lives with his kindness and laughter and sustained the phrase, 'he was a friend of mine'.

If I'm not mistaken, Jim's mom was the infamous Mrs. LeDuc at Red Hill School in 1979-81. Great lady, measuring girl's skirts with a ruler. Didn't know Jim, but if they are kin he was made from strong stuff. RIP Jim LeDuc...

Dear Laura, Nic, MiMi, and Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. I always said Jim had a heart of gold and would do anything for his family and friends. It was an honor to be a part of his life and on the receiving end of his jokes though it took me a while to catch on sometimes. I posted a picture from a trip Lou and I took with him to Clear Lake. He loved being out on the boat. Unfortunately the boat sank that night. But we had an adventure and have a story to tell and wonderful memories. Something always happened with that boat. I will miss Jim's sparking smile and little giggle but most of all his kindness and good heart. You are in my prayers.
God Bless,

My son and I helped Jim move once. When we got there - he pointed to a pile of stuff in the garage and said "that's it". I asked "do you want me to go get some boxes?" He said "nah, just throw it in the truck." So we did. He was loose, loving, funny, smart - took care of parents and kids. A mans man when it came to cars, sports, music. I trust that God will remember him fondly as well and take care of him. Love and prayers to the family. Tony Plytas - ex-ffic partner and friend.

So sorry to say goodbye to Jim. He was a nice, sweet, somewhat goofy guy. Don't know if that horse shoeing business ever got off the ground. I know he was crazy about cars, but even crazier about his children. I am so glad he got to be a grandpa. I'm glad he was surrounded by those he loved when he passed away. HIs kids must know that they were his whole world. Peace and love to all Jim's family.

Dear Lisa, Laura, Nic and family,
We were sorry to receive the news of Jim’s passing; he was a very special person. Bob and Jim were very good friends and enjoyed music so much, mostly the drums. We knew Renee and John, so many years ago and then the boys became friends. We are sure that Bob and Jim are playing a great jam session right now up there in heaven, with Bob literally taking him under his own wing with much love and support.
Love
Elizabeth & Jim Austin

Jim especially enjoyed setting a trap. There was no greater joy for Jim at work to have his co-workers (only the ones that he liked) pelted with confetti from used hole punchers via an elaborate trap. He worked hard on those, to the point of an art form. Jim and I went to see the 2nd Indiana Jones movie together and afterwards, we were at my condo and someone knocked at the door. "Do you have a yellow car?" The person asked. Jim answered "yes". The person said "Well, it's on fire". It was. Bummer.
Another thing about Jim in those daze, he had a huge Star Wars collection. I could not believe that an adult male had that many Star Wars Action Figures. (Remember, this was during the 80's when we didn't know how classic Star Wars stuff would be). Jim was ahead of his time on that one. Don't know if he kept them or not. Hope he did. He won that arguement with me hindsight being 20/20.
When Lisa did not want a baby shower when she was preggo with Laura, we (me, Paul, Layne and Lisa) decided to have a Baby Shower for Jim. It was so freakin awesome to see how surprised he was! Great party, great day. Great guy!! Jim, thanks for the memories!
